The number of species inhabiting Earth is steadily declining, both on land and in our seas. This development needs to be stopped, but doing so is not an easy task.
"That´s why a new centre of expertise and research is opening at the turn of the year, the Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre," says Professor Alexandre Antonelli, who will serve as director of the centre.
